Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.
(i) The fifth paragraph under the caption "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" on page i of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"Subject to applicable law, Navistar reserves the right (1) to waive any and all conditions to the tender offer, except that the receipt of the Requisite Consents may not be waived, (2) to extend the tender offer and consent solicitation, (3) to terminate the tender offer in the event that any of the conditions applicable to the tender offer set out under "Conditions to the Tender Offer" have not been satisfied or waived by Navistar on or prior to the Expiration Date or (4) to otherwise amend the tender offer and consent solicitation in any respect."
(ii) The twelfth paragraph under the caption "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" on page (ii) of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"This Offer to Purchase constitutes neither an offer to purchase Notes nor a solicitation of consents in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make an offer or solicitation under applicable securities or blue sky laws. The information contained in this Offer to Purchase is correct as of the date hereof and any subsequent material change to such information will be promptly disseminated to holders of the Notes in a manner reasonably calculated to inform such holders of such change."
(iii) The first paragraph under the caption "Withdrawal of Tenders and Revocation of Consents; Absence of Appraisal Rights" on page 16 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"Tenders of Notes made on or prior to the Expiration Date may be properly withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date. Thereafter, such tenders are irrevocable except that Notes not yet accepted for payment may be withdrawn at any time after April 20, 2006 (40 business days after the commencement of the tender offer). A valid withdrawal of tendered Notes effected on or prior to the Expiration Date will constitute the concurrent valid revocation of such holder's related Consents. Consents provided in connection with a tender of Notes cannot be revoked without a valid withdrawal of the related Notes. Accordingly, a purported revocation of such Consents without a concurrent valid withdrawal of the related Notes will not render the tender of the Notes or the related Consents defective. For a withdrawal of Notes to be proper, a holder must comply fully with the withdrawal procedures set forth below."
4
(iv) The second and third paragraphs under the caption "Conditions to the Tender Offer" on page 17 of the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended by deleting such paragraphs in their entirety and replacing them with the following:
"Subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act and notwithstanding any other provision of the tender offer and consent solicitation and in addition to (and not in limitation of) Navistar's rights to terminate, extend and/or amend the tender offer and consent solicitation in its reasonable discretion, Navistar shall not be required to accept for purchase, or to pay for, any tendered Notes if any of the following have occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date:
The conditions to the tender offer are for the sole benefit of and may be asserted by Navistar, in its reasonable discretion, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such conditions, or may be waived by Navistar, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date, in its reasonable discretion (except that the Requisite Consents with respect to the tender offer may not be waived). The failure by Navistar at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such
5
right shall be deemed an ongoing right, which may be asserted at any time and from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date. Any determination by Navistar concerning the events described in this section shall be final and binding upon all persons."
(v) The fourth paragraph under the caption "Expiration Date; Extension; Termination; Amendments" on page 18 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"Navistar expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the tender offer and the consent solicitation if any conditions applicable to the tender offer set out under "Conditions to the Tender Offer" have not been satisfied or waived by Navistar on or prior to the Expiration Date. Any such termination will be followed promptly by a public announcement of the termination and Navistar will also promptly inform the depositary if its decision to terminate the tender offer and/or consent solicitation."
(vi) The sixth paragraph under the caption "THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS" on page 19 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"Waiver of All Existing Defaults and Events of Default. The Supplemental Indenture will:
Each consenting holder of Notes will be deemed to have instructed the trustee to take any and all actions necessary to effect the foregoing waivers and rescissions.
Other Waivers and Releases. In consideration for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the tender offer, tendering Holders will be deemed to waive, release, forever discharge and agree not to sue Navistar or its former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns or other representatives as to any and all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of any kind and under any theory whatsoever, whether known or unknown (excluding any liability arising under U.S. federal securities laws in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation), by reason of any act, omission, transaction or occurrence, that the tendering Holders ever had, now has or hereafter may have against Navistar as a result of or in any manner related to any prior non-compliance of the terms of the indenture governing the Notes or in any manner related to:
6
The principal reason the Company has commenced the tender offer is to eliminate any and all defaults or events of defaults that may exist under the indenture relating to the Notes and obtaining the foregoing release and waiver from the tendering holders is an integral part of this objective. For more information regarding the background to the tender offer, see "Navistar- Background of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation."
(vii) The fourth paragraph under the caption "SIGNIFICANT CONSEQUENCES TO NON-TENDERING HOLDERS" on page 20 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
"Effect of the Proposed Amendments: If the Proposed Amendments become operative, the Notes that are not tendered and purchased pursuant to the tender offer will remain outstanding and will be subject to the terms of the indenture pursuant to which such Notes were issued as modified by the Supplemental Indenture. In addition, as a result of the adoption of the Proposed Amendments, material covenants will be eliminated from the indenture governing the Notes and holders of unpurchased Notes will no longer be entitled to the benefits of such covenants and related provisions. Most significantly, the Supplement Indenture will delete the covenant in the indenture that requires the Company to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change that occurs prior to the maturity of the Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of repurchase. A "Fundamental Change" is defined in the indenture to occur if:
7
provided, however, that none of these circumstances will be a Fundamental Change if at least 90% of the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Company's board of directors) of the property and securities received or retained by holders of the Company's common stock in respect of such common stock in such transaction, other than cash payments for fractional shares, consists of shares of voting common stock of the successor person (or its parent) that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or approved for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market. As a result of the deletion of this covenant, the Company could engage is a number of transactions, including a "going-private" transaction, that would have a material adverse effect on the value of the conversion feature of the Notes without having to make an offer to repurchase the Notes. See "The Proposed Amendments.""
Item 8. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company. Item 8 of Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
4.75% Notes. An indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company owns $18.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.75% Notes, or approximately 8.2% of the original $220.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 4.75% Notes issued. These 4.75% Notes are not considered outstanding for certain purposes under the terms of the Indenture. The name and address of the subsidiary is International Truck and Engine Corporation Cayman Islands Holding Company, c/o Navistar International Corporation, 4201 Winfield Road, P.O. Box 1488, Warrenville, Illinois 60555. None of the directors or executive officers of the Company listed below own any 4.75% Notes.
Common Stock. As of March 9, 2006, the Company held an aggregate of 5,167,980 shares of Common Stock as treasury shares In addition, as of March 9, 2006, the International Truck and Engine Corporation Non-Contributory Retirement Plan Trust (the "Hourly Trust"), International Truck and Engine Corporation Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees Trust (the "Salaried Trust"), and International Truck and Engine Corporation Retiree Health Benefit Trust (the "Health Benefit Trust"), owned an aggregate of 7,755,030 shares of Common Stock, or 11.4% of the outstanding Common Stock, as follows: Hourly Trust4,653,018 shares; Salaried Trust1,551,006 shares; and Health Benefit Trust1,551,006 shares. Each trust is a funding trust for an employee benefit plan sponsored by International Truck and Engine Corporation ("International"), the principal operating subsidiary of the Company. The trust agreements of the Hourly Trust and the Salaried Trust provide that the trustee is a directed trustee with respect to Navistar stock held by the trusts and that the Pension Fund Investment Committee of International (the "PFIC"), or an investment manager designated by the PFIC, is to direct the trustee with respect to the voting or disposition of the Company's
8
Common Stock. The trust agreement for the Health Benefit Trust provides that International, or an investment manager appointed by International, is to direct the trustee with respect to voting and disposition of Navistar stock. International has delegated authority for such matters related to the Health Benefit Trust to the PFIC, all of whom are employees of the Company. Jennison Associates LLC ("Jennison") has subsequently been appointed the investment manager for each trust with respect to the Company's Common Stock, and Jennison has been given discretionary authority regarding voting and disposition of the Company's Common Stock. Since the PFIC and the Company have the power to revoke or change the appointment of Jennison (and therefore reacquire the voting and dispositive control over the Common Stock), the committee, International or the Company could be considered "beneficial owners" of the Common Stock held by the trusts. The address of each of the trusts is c/o International Truck and Engine Corporation, 4201 Winfield Road, Warrenville, Illinois 60555.
Set forth below is the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as of February 28, 2006 of the directors and/or executive officers of the Company. In general, beneficial ownership includes those shares a director or executive officer has the power to vote or transfer, and stock options exercisable within 60 days. The address of each of the directors and executive officers is c/o Navistar International Corporation, 4201 Winfield Road, Warrenville, Illinois 60555.

Item 11. Additional Information.
(i) The third paragraph under the caption "AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE" on page 27 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety.
(ii) The second paragraph under the caption "MISCELLANEOUS" on page 28 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it as follows:
"From time to time after ten business days following the Expiration Date or termination of the tender offer, Navistar may acquire Notes that remain outstanding, if any, whether or not the tender offer is consummated, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, which may be more or less than the price to be paid pursuant to the tender offer and could be for cash or other consideration, or Navistar may decide to defease the Notes in accordance with the
11
indenture governing the Notes. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) Navistar may pursue."
(iii) The third paragraph of the Consent and Letter of Transmittal is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it as follows:
"Holders may not deliver Consents without tendering their Notes nor may they tender Notes without delivering Consents. Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date. Thereafter, such tenders are irrevocable except that Notes not yet accepted for payment may be withdrawn at any time after April 20, 2006 (40 business days after the commencement of the tender offer). A valid withdrawal of Notes will render the corresponding Consents defective. Consents cannot be revoked without a valid withdrawal of the related Notes. Accordingly, a purported revocation of Consents without a concurrent valid withdrawal of the related Notes will not render the tender of the Notes or the related Consents defective."
(iv) The second paragraph on page 4 of the Consent and Letter of Transmittal is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it as follows:
"The undersigned hereby tenders to Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Navistar"), and provides Consents and waivers with respect to, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Consent and Letter of Transmittal and the Offer to Purchase (collectively, the "Offer Documents"), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the principal amount or amounts of Notes indicated in the table above under the caption heading "Description of Notes Tendered" under the column heading "Total Principal Amount Tendered and as to which Consents are Given" within such table (or, if nothing is indicated therein, with respect to the entire aggregate principal amount represented by the Notes described in such table). The undersigned agrees to all of the terms and conditions in the Offer to Purchase and this Consent and Letter of Transmittal. Terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase."
(v) The last paragraph beginning on page 5 of the Consent and Letter of Transmittal is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it as follows:
"The undersigned agrees and acknowledges that, by the execution and delivery hereof, the undersigned makes and provides its Consent, with respect to the principal amount of Notes tendered hereby (or tendered through ATOP), to: (1) the Proposed Amendments to the indenture governing the Notes and the Notes and to the execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture; (2) the waiver of all prior and existing defaults and events of default under the indenture governing the Notes; and (3) the rescission of all prior and existing notices of default and acceleration, if any, delivered to Navistar pursuant to the indenture governing the Notes. In so doing, the undersigned recognizes that the Proposed Amendments will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and specified affirmative covenants and modify certain events of default and other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes and the Notes. The undersigned understands, acknowledges and agrees that any Consent provided hereby shall remain in full force and effect unless and until such Consent is validly revoked in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The undersigned further understands that any tenders of Notes and any related Consents will not be revocable and Notes may not be withdrawn after the Expiration Date. Thereafter, such tenders are irrevocable except that Notes not yet accepted for payment may be withdrawn at any time after April 20, 2006 (40 business days after the commencement of the tender offer). It is anticipated that the Company and the trustee will execute the Supplemental Indenture promptly after the Expiration Date. While the Supplemental
12
Indenture will become effective upon execution, the Proposed Amendments will not become operative unless and until Notes are accepted for payment pursuant to the tender offer."
(vi) The last paragraph on page 6 of the Consent and Letter of Transmittal is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it as follows:
"In consideration for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the tender offer, the undersigned hereby waives, releases, forever discharges and agrees not to sue Navistar or its former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, stockholders, predecessors, successors, assigns or other representatives as to any and all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of any kind and under any theory whatsoever, whether known or unknown (excluding any liability arising under U.S. federal securities laws in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation), by reason of any act, omission, transaction or occurrence, that the undersigned ever had, now has or hereafter may have against Navistar as a result of or in any manner related to any prior non-compliance of the terms of the indenture governing the Notes or in any manner related to:
(vii) The first paragraph on page 3 of the Instructions to the Consent and Letter of Transmittal under the caption "IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION" is hereby amended be deleting such paragraph in its entirety.
